SOURCE: wont drain

Hello,

The Hmming could say the pump works just fine. But I'm sure the not draining is caused a Valve in the Pump being dis-aligned or something. Try to contact service repair guys, or call and describe the fault :)

SOURCE: I have a Lavamat L14510

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

As you say that the filter WAS blocked but you do not say if you were able to check the drain motor/pump itself, I would advise checking the operation of that first by following the notes through to those in bold italics ;-0)

(This is pre-typed as I cannot type that fast!)

Following are my complete and generic guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor:-

REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT (alternatively use a wet vac as sensibly suggested by VinnyB1234!)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play.
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!
John C

The error 3 code signals a pump fault. This is most often a blockage in the filter, (Front right bottom corner) and often behind the removable kick strip. If your machine is Full of Water, do not remove this filter until you have got the water from out of the machine manually. This is explained in my next posting. Assuming only a little water remains in the drum, then a big towel to soak this up is all that is needed. Proceed and remove the filter and clean out all the debris, taking time to look and feel inside the filter housing for small coins, buttons, nails etc etc. It is advisable that while you are doing this, to check the sump pipes that come from the base of the drum to the pump and any other pipe that is attached to the filter housing. You may need to tilt the machine back to do this or alternatively dis-connect all pipes and lay down on its side to allow better and easier access. Check all pipes thoroughly and replace correctly ensuring a good fit and tight clamps. Hopefully now you pump will work correctly and discharge the water, typically emptying a full drum in no more than 30 seconds. Please see next posting on 'How to empty drum manually' Hi There, Is your Bosch full of water? If it is empty you can place towel down on floor in front of filter door, usually bottom right corner looking from front and then remove the filter by turning anti-clockwise. The towel is just to catch the residue of water that is always left in the machine even when working properly, around a pint. If your machine is full of water you will need to drain off the excess first, before removing the filter, unless of course you have your machine outside or an area that can cope with a lot of water spewing out. To drain off excess, take empty hose from back of machine and lower into a washing up bowl. If the empty hose(Usually grey in colour) is jubilee clipped half way up back of machine, please remove this clip to aid siphoning into washing up bowl. Once all water is drained you can then proceed with emptying/cleaning the filter as earlier described. If you cannot see the filter at the front (usually right hand side) base then you may need to remove the plastic kick strip that runs across the front base with flat blade screwdriver being careful not to break the plastic retaining tabs that will hold it back in place when you are finished.

Lavamat 16850 i cant set up eny program becouse i got error ef3 please help
An EF3 error indicates a problem with the Aqua Control system; this feature includes a pump that removes water from inside the washer if it starts to leak. It could be a sign of a bad hose, a problem with the cable between this pump and the electronic control or a problem with the pump.

If you replace the hose, this could solve the problem. (It could be any of the internal hoses - intake or outlet or where the hoses connect to the wash tub.) Unfortunately, the pump may have failed and then the water leak could have damaged the cables inside the washer. Thus, you may want to have the unit serviced to find and fix the entire problem.

I hope this helps.

This error indicates an obstruction in the water pump.
Tilt the machine back and unscrew the plastic bung a as glen said rather alot of water comes depending on how far you tilt the machine. doing this just empties the water in the drum above. once you have done this then look to see if anything is blocking the flow tunnel. also reach in and spin the propeller about 2 1/2 inches inside the tunnel. when you have done this and you feel the propeller is turning freely. then screw back in the bung.assuming you have un plugged the machine in the first place,(safety first) then plug the machine back in and turn the knob on the front to spin if your model and press the start button. if the drain pump is working(when you turn it on leave it a minute or two so it can reset itself) you will hear the pump start working.

If this doesnt work, yes, you'd need to change the pump.

Hope this helps.. Good luck! :)

Washing machine Airturbo stops at 17 minutes and 7 minutes and error code SE appears. what is to be done washing nachine is one year old only
  1. Open the filter-cover near the bottom of the machine. Unscrew emergency drain cap by turning it to the left and drain off all the water. Unscrew the filter cap and take it out. Wash any dirt or other material from the filter. Make sure the drain pump propeller behind the filter is not blocked. Replace the filter cap. Replace the filter-cover.
  2. The Water Drain error can be cleared by turning POWER SW OFF and back ON.
  3. If the water only trickles out of the draining hose, pause the washer and blow air down the hose, you should hear the water inside the unit bubble a few times. If you don't hear bubbles, the hose is still blocked.
  4. Drain the load, empty the washer of clothes and try running a rinse & spin cycle. You should repeat this until the water runs clear from the drain hose.
  5. If the machine still fails to drain, you may need to replace your Drain pump.

The machine fills up but will not drain or spin, I have just removed hoses and there is no blockages, could the filter need cleaned, is so where is it located?
First, if there is still water in the drum lower the outlet hose into a bowl and if no water comes out then you have a blockage but if water flows out then the pump is at fault. To clear a blocked filter on a WMA machine which still has water in it, first tilt the machine backwards and open the door, bail out the contents of the drum with a mug or sponge untill it is as empty as you can get it. Now lower the machine back down again and remove the lower inspection panel at the back of the cabinet now tilt the machine forward.....place a tin of soup or something under it to hold it in a tilted possition, then put a bowl or deep oven dish under the sump to catch any remaining water when it is removed. Undo the retaining clip around the sump hose and disengage it from the container, the filter is inside the hose and can be taken out to be cleaned.Click the links for Workshop manuals on Hotpoint WMA and WM machines

Washer still has water wont empty?
Chances are you have a blockage or pump fault, try lowering the outlet hose into a bucket or bowl, if water flows then it is a pump or associated wiring fault but if no water comes out or very little then you have a blockage probably in the sump. If this is the case then tilt the machine back, open the door and bale the water out with a mug or sponge, now tilt the machine forward and remove the lower inspection plate on the bottom at the rear of the machine. keep the machine tilted forward by placing a tin of soup or something under it. Put a bowl or deep dish under the sump(the black hose connected to the under side of the drum)to catch any water that will come out, now remove the clip that holds it onto the drum. the filter is inside the hose.Disconect from the mains power before commencing any work.For Hotpoint, Creda and Indesit error codes and help visit Selfix-uk

First try putting the outlet hose in a bowl and see if any water comes out, if it does then you don’t have a blockage but either a jammed or faulty pump. Empty all the water out of the drum by filling the bowl or bucket and to stop the flow of water raise the hose higher than the machine. Continue doing this until the drum is empty. Tilt the machine forward and place a tin of soup or something under it to keep it tilted forward, place a shallow basin or deep tray under the pump to catch any water that will come out (rather than soak your floor) undo the clip holding the hose onto the pump and remove it. You may need to remove the pump but you could find a cotton bud or something in the pump housing that stops it from working or it may be a lose connection on the pump (check that first)
If no water comes out of the hose when you lower it into the bowl then you have a blockage and will need to bail the water out of the drum using a mug or jug. Tilt the machine backwards and you should be able to open the door keep it tilted by putting your tin of soup under it. When it is empty remove the tin of soup and tilt the machine forward, place it under it again and put a bowl or basin under the sump. Remove it from the container and you should be able to pull the filter out at this point but if not remove the other end from the pump and clean the whole thing out in the sink. If there is no evidence of a blockage in the sump filter check the outlet hose especially if it was connected to an under sink U bend.

But if you follow the outlet hose back into the machine it will lead you to the pump and the other hose coming off the pump will go to the sump/filter. It is then just a case of removing the hoses and cleaning out any blockage from inside. Be sure to turn off the power and empty the tub of as much water as possible first or you will end up with a soaked floor, it will also be an advantage if you can tilt the machine away from the pump before removing any hoses. (If the pump is at the rear of the machine tilt it forward and place a shallow bowl or dish under it to catch any water. Keep the machine tilted by putting a tin of soup or something under it. If it is at the front then tilt it backwards.)

Washing machine
you almost certainly have a blocked filter .Unplug the machine , take the screws out from the back you will see a black hose coming from the tub to the pump, this is the filter if the machine is still full of water get yourself a washing up bowl and lower the grey waste pipe into the bowl and gravity should let the water out, raise the pipe when bowl is full.If no water comes out like that tilt the machine forward and put the bowl under the black hose undo the clip with pliers and slowly take the hose off water will flow when full push hose back up and empty the bowl keep doing this until empty , then remove blockage. Getting someone to hold the machine while you do this will be much easier.
